The American
Dingo/Carolina Dog — Still living wild in the
bottom land swamps and†forests of the Southeastern United
States.

If "That looks just like MY dog!" is your first reaction to the photos
above, then perhaps you're fortunate enough to own a living piece of
history...a CAROLINA DOG...also called the American Dingo, the Dixie
Dingo, the Southern Dingo, the Native American Dog, the Indian's Dog,
the Southern Aboriginal Dog, and just plain Ol' Yaller Dog!

During the last 30 years, the capture and study of free-ranging
dogs in remote areas of South Carolina and Georgia has revealed the
existence of dogs of primitive appearance fitting the typical long-term
pariah (i.e, primitive/dingo) morphotype. These Carolina Dogs physical
appearance suggests a dog created by and preserved through natural
selection to survive in the remote lowland swamp and forest land regions
of the southeastern United States, They closely resemble types of dogs
first encountered by Europeans near Indian settlements in the region as
is evidenced by paintings, drawings and written descriptions made by
these early explorers and settlers.

These Carolina Dogs have been brought into a captive breeding
program. Several behavioral traits have been discovered that appear
unique to these Carolina dogs, and many behaviors labeled as primitive
are consistently manifested. Such behaviors include pack hierarchy,
communal pup rearing, regurgitation for pups, and organized, cooperative
hunting.
